Convergence rate for a regularized scalar conservation law

Abstract

This work revisits a recent finding by the first author concerning the local convergence of a regularized scalar conservation law. We significantly improve the original statement by establishing a global convergence result within the Lebesgue spaces $L^\infty_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^+;L^p(\mathbb{R}))$, for any $p \in [1,\infty)$, as the regularization parameter $\ell$ approaches zero. Notably, we demonstrate that this stability result is accompanied by a quantifiable rate of convergence. A key insight in our proof lies in the observation that the fluctuations of the solutions remain under control in low regularity spaces, allowing for a potential quantification of their behavior in the limit as $\ell\to 0$. This is achieved through a careful asymptotic analysis of the perturbative terms in the regularized equation, which, in our view, constitutes a pivotal contribution to the core findings of this paper.
